This year with the strength of schedule we really need to avoid the bad home loss against a non top 25 team.

B.S!! No UConn at the Bradley Center but St.John's for two years in a row.

And I'm too lazy to check, but it seems like MU travels to ND more often than the reverse.

Not sure about before the 09-10 season but that year ND came to us for final BE game of year, and last year was a home and home with them. So, based off those past two years it makes sense that we only go to them this year.

Agreed. That does suck.

Also, I dont understand why BE would not continue to showcase the GTown-Cuse rivaly. It's the conference's bread-and-butter and is undeniably the best rivaly and the two most identifiable teams for the conference.

Well, I looked it up anyway.  Since MU has been in the BE, we've traveled to South Bend 5 times, they've been here 4 times.  Next season the ratio will be 4 to 6.  I don't want them off our schedule, but the Joyce Center is a tough place to play.

Schedule looks good to me.  Everyone, but Seton Hall, has 2 out of 3 tough repeat opponents.   

I just want some Saturday night home games against top teams. 
Can't wait for the season.

Slick Rick also complaining...

I was reading that on CBS sportsline, what a joke about him complaining.

The MU ticket office wants more Big East Saturday games. Day or night.
